Nope.

No that's a good post. Hope you can sort it out.

It was 18 months ago since he posted that so I guess its gone mate. You could PM him though.

You are duty bound and I think by law required to tell the electricity board before you do anything. You could possibly die of old age before they tell you what's going on mind! Or they might do it for free which is no good for you but great fot the customer:laugh1:
-
Totally understand what you mean about trying to educate people abit but we NEED people to complain moan and get bothered by trees or 99% of us would be out of a job!
-
Firstly I never lie to people or missdirect them and have no time for anyone who does. I just tell them what we are doing and why. Although they get a quick version unless I have a bit of time and don't mind going into detail. The last you wasn't to do ime its start to piss the local residents off when you have to work in the area. Besides they could be a customer of yours one day. Although it all depends on the situation they ask you in, its not usually a good idea to explain yourself when your swinging limbs out over the road etc7 You can get the odd nutter but in those circumstances no matter what you say will help.

Your right it is a bit of hassle and I can do without the bank charges thats for sure! But, when I have cash it disappears on nothing! Safer straight in the bank for me.

:dito:X2 An the local electric company.

I just couldn't be doing with the hassle you lot seem to have with regular none/bad payers! The amount of trouble I get doesn't even bear thinking about. I,d never ask for cash payment or for it up front but then if I did get cash flow from constant late/non payers then I would prob change my mind. I like cheques, everything in and out of the same account for me.

Using chrome ATM but it seems to have loads of problems so I'm switching back to ie. At least with Microsoft things seem to work consistently!

Otherwise I meant this one. [ATTACH]46557[/ATTACH]

Oh hang on I thought you meant the top cover, the air filter cover just unscrew the black plastic know but but the choke on full so you can wiggle the filter off. I think!

Use a flat head screwy to undone the screw that has a rubber washer around it. Its on the top of the casing above the model name on the left.

Judging by that you shoulda used spikes and done less damage:thumbup1: Red boots,really.[ATTACH]46553[/ATTACH]

Owning a business in this country means your a target to get taxed by everyone. We pay more for insurances, water,electricity gas business rates, banking etc etc so paying every 5 years to keep up with my certs is something I don't do. No doubt I will have to retake my driving license again soon because I drive a commercial vehicle! No doubt I could learn a new thing or two, especially about rigging, but well I suppose that's what Arbtalk's for, and it's free.

Its been scientifically proved by NASA and those clever bods at CERN that the more signs, cones and barriers you use the more people will turn up and want to move them out of the way to get a good luck and feel of what is going on. They attract idiots who cant think for themselves and have no control over their actions. Never think that you can expect people to adhere to the control measures you use, you have to watch out for them and try and be polite or they will just stand around ranting and getting in the way even more.

I dunno why. Web site is fine as long as you click on the free download then wait the 60 seconds otherwise they will start asking you to pay for a premium account etc. I've just downloaded it then scanned it and it came back clean. If its on your pc somewhere try searching for the file 034_036_036QS.pdf, but if youve given it back then dont bother.

I thought all us pro tree people carried at least 100K in the ashtray for such emergency situations.

There are some cracking little tales on here. But, I wonder how many of us have had to claim on the insurance, all the incidents seem quite minor and I doubt they would cost more than the excess the insurance companies require you to pay first. Which leads me on to wonder why my PL costs me so much:confused1: Well OK its not a huge amount of money but it is in relation to my truck and car insurance.Plus from what I hear they are going to make it difficult for people who are new to the game, which is quite possibly the worst thing they can do. Come on someone musta got there monies worth and had a big un.

You only stop for 10 mins when working all day every day! That's some physical feat of endurance no messing.

How thick is the steel that you will be welding on the crane? Since that would be the most critical bit of welding you will be doing make sure you get it right! With the mig does come the problem with gas, you either need to get an account with someone like boc or try and nick a pub co2 bottle of someone, the co2 works better than most say it does, well ime. Or use the gasless wire, it doesnt weld as good but if your mainly welding outside then you will probably want to use that instead of gas. Oh and then you will probably need a new regular for the full size gas bottles. Its just one of those things, before you know it youve spent £500!
-
Looks really good. I hope you spiked it to save time.
-
I only use mig welders but I know that with mig you want the metal nice and clean with no rusty bits and definitely no paint, grease etc, as they burn they affect the weld. I think the arc is a bit more forgiving than the mig but I always found mig to be a lot easier to use. Make sure you get the right rods to do the job ie thickness of metal etc. If the bodywork is very thin metal you might struggle to not blow holes in it. OH BIG TIP, DO NOT GET ARC EYE!!!! Keep the mask on!

Personally I'd nick the rope with a saw about 10 foot or so from the spliced eye after about 10 mins use from new. 40 meters would be plenty for me so id be cutting 20 off and getting it spliced, our have a go yourself.

I don't remember giving any advice only commenting on a seriously bad bit of work. So is best to recommend a dogstooh cut on every fell, just in case.
